question 253

Multiple Choice

A $1.0 - \mu \mathrm { F }$ capacitor is charged until it acquires a potential difference of $900.0 \mathrm {~V}$ across its plates, and then the emf source is removed. If the capacitor is then discharged through a $500.0 - k \Omega$ resistance, what is the voltage drop across the capacitor $9.0 \mathrm {~ms}$ after beginning the discharge?

• A) \(- 16 \mathrm {~V}\)
• B) \(16 \mathrm {~V}\)
• C) \(880 \mathrm {~V}\)
• D) \(920 \mathrm {~V}\)
